A top price for François Meuret

When the work Portrait Of Robert Arthur De Acres, Marquis De L'Aigle (1843-1931) by François Meuret was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 11,875.00 (€ 13,182.56). This high result makes Portrait Of Robert Arthur De Acres, Marquis De L'Aigle (1843-1931) the most expensive artwork by François Meuret that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für François Meuret

Als die Arbeit Portrait Of Robert Arthur De Acres, Marquis De L'Aigle (1843-1931) von François Meuret im Mai 2020 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 11.875,00 (€ 13.182,56) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Portrait Of Robert Arthur De Acres, Marquis De L'Aigle (1843-1931) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von François Meuret, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
